Rocket Price Manipulation: $287.00K Reported Loss

·Historical incident record

Incident Overview

An attacker exploited a dormant, illiquid perpetual market on Rocket. Using a burner account, they posted orders at artificially inflated prices and traded against themselves to generate fake profits on one account while bankrupting the burner. The profitable account then withdrew approximately $287K in positive PnL from the Bridge, with the loss socialized across the platform. Deposits, withdrawals and trading were paused.
